Gums

If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it’s usually a sign of gingivitis or gum disease. Our team can help you prevent this from progressing.

Our hygienists Hayley and Ros have been working with us for many years and are skilled in helping you with any oral hygiene issues including bleeding gums, receding gums and gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis). As well as being thorough, professional and passionate about improving your oral health, they are also warm, caring and won’t judge you whatever your start point.

Our dentist, Saagar Patel, has a special interest in periodontology and has completed further postgraduate studies on the management of gum disease. For patients with more advanced gum disease (periodontitis) he works with Hayley and Ros to make sure we can stabilise the condition and help you manage this in the longer term. Our in surgical dentist, Andre La Grange is also able to help manage any advanced cases that require surgery.
